I was hesitant to put this onAfter reading some reviews on this line, I was sceptical if I even wanted to try it. While we were getting leaders set up, my guide even made the comment that he's seen a lot of fish lost due to equipment error and hates "that braid c rap" that some use when out with him. I handed him my spinning reel and said you're going to hate me then. He grabbed my line to set me up and had a " what's this?" puzzled look on his face. This picture was taken after my first cast, about 5 minutes into our trip. Hesitation, sceptical thoughts and fears are gone. I'd recommend again in a heart beat. This was about a 25-30# drum. I used a 30# mono leader tied to 10# Nanofil. No slips in the knot.

Strength and castabilityI have seen a lot of controversy over this line, some really good, and some bad comments. I am on my second spool of this line, and I stepped up from 12lb to 17lb, and the hi-vis green. I have learned to tie the Nano-Knot and use it exclusively to tie on my terminal tackle. I just spent a weekend fishing in the Texas bays, and it was incredibly windy. I could cast into the wind with my spinning reel, and my buddies with baitcast reels could not. I caught trout and big redfish all weekend with no line or knot breakage, and this outperformed the rest of the team and their tackle

Low line memory but has a tendency to abrade.I bought this line to use on spinning reels. I use this line, bass fishing, to cast light lures with a medium heavy spinning rod. I required a light strength line with low memory for this type of fishing. I would rate this line casting ease above average (in comparison) to the same line strength/weight of monofilament. However, the line has a tendency to abrade rapidly compared to other lines. I have trimmed worn line off reel as the manufacture has recommended and have not broken off this line during while fishing. I feel if the abrasion issue could be resolved this would be and excellent product.

My Favorite LineI've got NanoFil spooled up in 6lb, 8lb, 10lb, 12lb, 17lb, and soon 14lb... All are on spinning reels. I use it for nearly everything including salmon, trout, walleye, panfish, etc. The correct knot (double palomar) is mandatory... I've landed 20lb non-spawning mid-summer king salmon on 10lb NanoFil while pier fishing.These are full energy fish that go on 200yd runs. I've had St Croix rods break before frayed NanoFil breaks. Color retention is better than braids. Wind knots are substantially less frequent than with braids and I fill my spools all the way up to the lip. It is less abrasion resistant than braids though but I highly recommend it.

Awesome with the right knotI use Nanofil in 4-, 10, and 17-pound for saltwater fishing in Southwest Florida. It's fantastic. I very rarely throw a wind knot anymore. The trick is to use a double uni knot to attach your leader. When I use 4-pound Nanofil, I tie a foot of 6-pound fluorocarbon on then tie on my 20-pound shock leader. With 10- and 17-pound Nanofil, I have no problem tying 20- or 30-pound fluoro directly. I make 8 wraps with the Nanofil and 5 with the fluoro. I've never had the knot fail or cut through, and I've caught redfish to 8 pound on 4-pound Nanofil and a 50-pound blacktip shark on 17. Great stuff!

Great line, when it doesn't snapI bought this line just over two weeks ago, I. have been attempting to use it for crappie and walleye fishing, so im using 8lb line. I've tried it with 1/8th ounce jigs and all different size rapalas and it doesnt matter what i throw or what not i tie, the line snaps either while im casting or if i get the smallest snag. I have no problem with my other line snapping like this. When i am crappie fishing with a bobber and a minno, the line is awesome, it is super sensitive and had very low memory. It could be a gteat,line but needs work. Definitely not worth the $20 i paid for it. It has cost me 50 in rapalas in two weeks

Best line for spinning reelsI have been using Nanofil on my spinning reels for inshore fishing with artificials for about two years. I have it on five of my reels in wts. of 6, 8, and 10lb test. I has performed better than any line I have tried. It casts farther and doesn't get wind knots.

Nanofill 8 lb. GreenI just got a roll and was asked to review while it was still fresh on my mind. I have not used this roll or even installed it yet. but I have used a roll of 10lb line split between two small UL reels. I have used it for shad fishing in the Neuse River, inshore fishing for trout, and for stream trout fishing in the NC mountains. I have used it for 3 years now and it is just beginning to show signs of wear. It cast better than any other braid I have ever used, hold knots well, and doesn't tangle any worse than any other small braid. I have learned that I have to double my 4# mono leaders before tying on or the tiny dia. of the braid will cut them. using the mono double seems to have taken care of that problem.
